Mia Liu
Known for：〈In Between〉
(b.1980) Mia Liu is a visual artist who lives and creates in Taipei.After receiving her B.F.A. from the San Francisco Art Institute, she enrolled in the M.F.A. program at Hunter College, City University of New York. Her works have been exhibited in major art museums and art spaces, and are collected across Europe, America, and Asia—including by the Uli Sigg Collection (Switzerland) and the Emile Hermès Collection (Taiwan).
Her art focuses on finding poetry in the ordinary, exploring the mysterious connections between sensation, memory, nature, and culture, using material-sensitive techniques to give form. It embodies both philosophical contemplation of the present and a subtle exploration of the delicate connection between the “past” and the “possible future” through a reexamination of art history. While the artistic forms appear diverse, they are not constrained by any single medium, forming a unique Drawing system.
The Ink Dialogue project, initiated in 2019, blends anonymous Chinese painting, pencil drawings, contemporary fabrics, and framing craftsmanship, paving the way for a new direction in contemporary ink painting.The 2022 series Scapes in the Mist integrates imagery with paper sculpture, engaging in a dialogue between her past unique forms and the history of photography. The purpose of these dialogical works is not historical excavation, but to extract new cultural values from tradition—invoking a pure aesthetic sense. This has become a crucial exploration in her personal artistic journey amid the fading trends of contemporary art discourse.
